Well it’s time for a do over on the water treatment.
Filters worked on the cottage but I want something with lower maintenance for the new house.
I thought I had a lot of undissolved iron because the sediment filter took out so much. After some discussion with some folks they suspect it’s oxidizing in the sediment filter. Undissolved iron is orange colored water. Mine is clear.
Anyway I learned a lot since.
And ordered this filter.

I’m so glad I got the “constant pressure” well pump because one requirement of this filter (media) is a fairly high backwash rate of 13 gpm. It’s because the media is on the heavy side.
Choosing the right filter (media) was more complicated than I expected. PH matters, water temp matters, backwash requirements and more.
Also the company I bought from recommended not putting any sediment filter in front. As that loads up, your flow rate goes down. If you drop below the requirement for the media in the filter, it’s ruined.
This site is awesome to get help on all sorts of DIY plumbing, heating etc.
